So fun to get in your super hot car when it’s 100 degrees and drive 30min to the eye doctor (no reminder call BTW) only to find out when you get there that it was supposed to be a contact lens check and you were supposed to be wearing them for 2 hours prior. 🫤 A heads up would have been helpful.

Manicure / nail polish friends: What are the best press-on nails for a wedding and do they sell them in not super long lengths? I'm going to be traveling and I won't have time to cut down and file a whole set of nails.

Yes I brought a water bottle full of margaritas to a taco place that only serves beer and no one was any the wiser. 😉

Rewarding myself with a happy hour marg after riding here (I think 3.5 miles, not that far, but against the wind!) I deserve it.

Please clap. I feel like I’ve been going soft so I increased my dumbbell weight for my body sculpt classes to 10-lb and 15-lb, from 8 and 12. I can feel it. Also upped my creatine from 3-4 g to 5 g. I miss having a trainer.

One of my internal clients sent me this most gorgeous dieffenbachia with their condolences. I was so touched by this. There’s no way they could know that I hardly had any plants. This one will always remind me of my dad.
Dieffenbachia large-leaved potted plant with variegated leaves, about 3 feet tall, indoors on a hardwood floor.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

It’s genius of course to store large quantities of ammo in such an unobtrusive hidey-hole as a “Triumphal Arch.” Our enemies will never know it’s there since he has kept it such a secret.

The president banned reporters for asking questions. He can’t defend his record. And if you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

I’m not so sure Republicans are going to agree that a president has the authority to do all the things that Trump is doing when a Democrat is in the WH. Just a hunch.

Family together. My sister, brother in law, and nephew from my other sister just had an epic buffet brunch at a historic Spanish colonial landmark with bottomless margaritas where we toasted my dad, and now I’m passing out in the sun at his pool.

Yesterday, my 98-year-old dad released himself from the bonds of severe congestive heart failure by invoking his right to California’s End of Life Option Act. Of sound mind, he made this decision about 10 days ago. Seems like weeks, as the anticipation was hard, but we all had the opportunity to +

It’s weird when I call to check on my dad because previously calls were all about the progress he was making (or not), how he was feeling, how PT went or whatever, and now all that matters his comfort. I will be there in person again starting Sat and I imagine our conversations will be reminiscing.

My 98-year-old dad with CHF and COPD has decided to go into hospice care. We meet with the hospice people tomorrow to decide next steps. I am grateful that he has the presence of mind to make this decision on his own, and that we know in advance, but it's definitely the end of an era.

I just got home. I have spent 24 of the last 36 days at my dad’s in order to manage his care, with 3 nights for a quick trip to Chicago. Which means I have spent exactly 9 nights of the last 36 in my own place. He is safe but I still worry about him. OTOH I am so grateful to be home. For now.
